The best and most exciting way of learning how to handle your dog is to meet up with a group of other dog owners, and while being professionally supported and coordinated by an experienced dog trainer, enjoying a weekend staying in some lovely guesthouse, spending time with nature and animals as well as meeting new people with the same interests.

During those stays you will learn about dog training issues in a very pleasing and exciting way and find out that learning theory works! …but in particular you will be applying practical training exercises aimed at solving every day problems with our beloved friends as well as enhancing the relationship between you and your dog.

A strange coincidence:

I’d love to publish an interesting conversation I had with Luca Rossi hoping the idea pleases him
Webmaster

Luca Rossi: "Today I happened to discover something that completely amazed me. At a tiny market in a small village in the Po plain that looks like the painting of a good artists, in a small village called Brescello, scene of the famous tale of Don Camillo and Peppone…I discovered a 45 year old original edition of the newspaper insert Domenica del Corriere. It was from June 45 years ago. Well, it is exactly that month that year I was born in, tiny, 3.8kg…cared for lovingly by mum, dad, grandma and grandpa. On the front page of the insert of the Domenica del Corriere there was a caricature of a goalkeeper getting a goal scored by a dog. So far so good. In my life I’ve played football professionally to the top league and after that become a dog trainer, and my first dog was a German Shepard just like the dog in the papers. A scrap of curious history, a strange coincidence one could say, but definitely worth being told"
